WAFO Videos – “Food as Medicine: Cucumbers”

"Food as Medicine: Cucumbers"

Guest chef Chris Madura, who is a local third generation farmer, helps Kathy Brieger prepare cucumbers into pickles in this episode of “Food as Medicine”. You can find Chris and his family’s produce at the Pine Island Farmers Market in Pine Island, NY. This episode was made possible by the Jacobowitz family who donated the funds to produce it in memory of Ronald Jacobowitz.

“Food as Medicine” is part of the Warwick Area Farmworker Organization’s many programs that focus on the migrant farmworker community in the Warwick Valley area and this WAFO program is focused specifically on food nutrition, as well as, health education for the migrant farmworker community, but is definitely of interest to anyone interested in eating healthier and living better.

Madura Farms No Problem Pickles is a local favorite and we really appreciate Chris sharing this wonderful recipe with us and thank him for helping our “little chefs” in the WAFO Summer Enrichment Program make them. We hope you enjoy them as well!
